About this ebook
It's 1967 in Detroit. Motown music is getting the party started, and Chelle and her brother Lank are making ends meet by turning their basement into an after-hours joint. But when a mysterious woman finds her way into their lives, the siblings clash over more much more than the family business. As their pent-up feelings erupt, so does their city, and they find themselves caught in the middle of the '67 riots.
DETROIT '67 is presented in association with Classical Theatre of Harlem and the National Black Theatre.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I thought the characters were vividly and portrayed with complexity which involved me in their struggles and successes. The plot was slightly predictable. But the way she introduced the interracial politics was very sympathetic and involving. And the expressions of the characters moved me - how they spoke and what they said about their predicament. Altogether a lovely and emotional read.
